What a proper loft condensation & roof ventilation job looks like in Goring-on-Thames
Goring is an Oxfordshire Thames-side village opposite Streatley — Victorian and Edwardian cottages around the High Street, plus larger detached homes on the surrounding Chiltern slopes. Recent work spans RG8, including jobs near St Thomas of Canterbury Church and Streatley Hill. Materials are stocked locally so we don't run dry mid-job; offcuts go back to our High Wycombe yard rather than left on site.

Housing stock — RG8 Goring has handmade clay tile and Welsh slate on the older cottages; the larger detached properties carry heavy lead-flashing detail against brick-and-flint chimneys.
Local roofing challenge — Goring is inside the Chilterns AONB and the conservation area covers the whole High Street — South Oxfordshire conservation officer requires like-for-like handmade tile.
On the ground — RG8 Goring cottages commonly have brick-and-flint chimneys with soft lime mortar — we repoint in NHL3.5 lime rather than sand-cement, matching the original build.
Microclimate — The Goring Gap concentrates Thames-valley wind between the Chiltern and Berkshire Downs — ridge lift on exposed properties is a real concern and mechanical dry-ridge is essential.
Site access — Goring is a 45-minute run from HP13 — we batch RG8 work with Pangbourne or Wallingford in programme weeks.
